The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses

Discover the skill, dedication, science and romance of Scotland’s Lighthouses in the only dedicated museum in the United Kingdom.

In the company of our friendly guides, climb the 72 steps up the first lighthouse in Scotland. The view from the top, accross the Moray Firth, is spectacular. After your tour, relax in our sea view cafe and shop.

The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses was created in 1995 to tell the unique story of the development of the lighthouse service in Scotland and its effects world wide. Decommissioned in 1991, and maintained for the nation, with the support of Historic Scotland and the Scottish Lighthouse Museum Trust, the original lighthouse and engine room are now preserved as they were the day the last keeper left.
